These strong women of the 21st century are ones to know. Whether it's climate protection, mental health, or human rights, women often take the lead in addressing the major challenges of our time. They are loud, call out injustices, break through glass ceilings, conquer the tech world, and pave the way for the next generation. Greta Thunberg, Naomi Osaka, Florence Kasumba, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez serve as role models for all engaged and interested young women and girls. The 28 heroines featured in this book are ones to recognize, as they are already driving the changes our world desperately needs.

Inspiring women who are pioneering and shaping the current era as advocates. Jan Hendrik Ax and Mareike Graepel present 28 women in this inspiring book, from whom we will hear much more in the future. The portrayed young women come from all walks of life and from around the globe.

They all have the courage and will to initiate change and make a difference through their actions.
